PETALING JAYA: Continuous increases in the accumulated overhead expenses for materials, food, salary and operational costs are the reasons why kindergarten fees will be increased by between 20% and 40% this year, says Association of Registered Childcare Providers Malaysia (PPBM).
PPBM president Sheila Prasad said that besides private kindergartens, the increase will also affect childcare centres that offer both education and daycare services.
